וַיַּעַן צֹפַר הַנַּֽעֲמָתִי וַיֹּאמַֽר
Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said:
לָכֵן שְׂעִפַּי יְשִׁיבוּנִי וּבַעֲבוּר חוּשִׁי בִֽי
Therefore do my thoughts give answer to me, Even by reason of mine agitation that is in me.
מוּסַר כְּלִמָּתִי אֶשְׁמָע וְרוּחַ מִֽבִּינָתִי יַעֲנֵֽנִי
I have heard the reproof which putteth me to shame, But out of my understanding my spirit answereth me.
הֲזֹאת יָדַעְתָּ מִנִּי־עַד מִנִּי שִׂים אָדָם עֲלֵי־אָֽרֶץ
Knowest thou not this of old time, Since man was placed upon earth,
כִּי רִנְנַת רְשָׁעִים מִקָּרוֹב וְשִׂמְחַת חָנֵף עֲדֵי־רָֽגַע
That the triumphing of the wicked is short, And the joy of the godless but for a moment?
